00:00 Intro

AppDaemon is a multithreaded, sandboxed python execution environment for writing automation apps that can greatly improve your current options in both Home Assistant automations and Node-RED.

There are only a few steps to get you started with AppDaemon.

01:07 - Before we go into command line, we have to create Long-lived Access Token in Home Assistant. Don't forget to copy it or save as temporary note somewhere.

02:07 - We have to create new folder for configuration file and future applications and dashboards:

mkdir /volume1/docker/appdaemon

02:44 - Following is terminal command we have to run to get it downloaded and installed:

sudo docker run --name=appdaemon -itd --net=host --restart=always -e HA_URL="http://192.168.1.201:8123" -e TOKEN="COPY YOUR TOKEN HERE" -e DASH_URL="http://192.168.1.201:5050" -v /volume1/docker/appdaemon:/conf -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro acockburn/appdaemon:latest

07:00 - Next step is to go into Portainer, check if everything is correct (and it will not be). Stop the Docker container so we can proceed.

07:36 - In Synology File Station go to /Docker/AppDaemon folder and right-click on appdaemon.yaml file to edit permissions.

Now edit appdaemon.yaml file and add couple of lines just below "appdaemon:":

latitude: 45.815399 # copy your data from Home Assistant
longitude: 15.966568 # copy your data from Home Assistant
elevation: 100 # copy your data from Home Assistant
time_zone: Europe/Zagreb # change to match your time zone

Don't forget to save changes.

09:41 - Next step is to go back to Portainer and start AppDaemon container.

If everything is working OK, you should see Hello World app successfully started in AppDaemon log file.

09:59 - You can now access AppDaemon UI on following IP address:
http://192.168.1.201:5050 (please change to match your Synology IP address).

Here is a nice list of AppDaemon scripts and examples you can use in your install:

You can of course also use HACS for some of the scripts it has in its repository.
